Inspired By: The Force Awakens

OMG guys! Star Wars: The Force Awakens comes out tomorrow. In preparation, I rewatched the original trilogy this past weekend. I'm seeing the movie Saturday morning with my two younger brothers and I'm looking forward to sitting in the theater and hearing John Williams' opening score.

This movie is technically Star Wars VII, a sequel to the original trilogy and takes place 30 years after Star Wars VI or Return of the Jedi. An old enemy with a new face surfaces against the Resistance called the First Order, and so our heroes must go up against new foes to save the galaxy.

Rey (Daisy Ridley) is a scavenger on the desert planet Jakku. Not much is known about her other than that she's self-sufficient and clearly a bad-ass if she can weild that giant stick. For a modern interpretation of Rey's outfit go for a loose top, distressed jeans, brown boots, and a BB-8 bag. Or put on a white tunic, black leggings, a bird necklace, and black ankle booties.

Finn

Finn (John Boyega) is a former First Order Stormtrooper who joins the Resistance, so why he switched sides will be revealed in the movie. For a cool Finn-esque look, put on a beige sweater jacket, gray top, black jeans, and gray sneakers. Or wear a brown moto jacket, navy top, green pants, Death Star ring, and brown booties.

Poe

Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) is a Resistance X-wing fighter pilot and the best one in the galaxy. He's been sent out on a mission by Princess Leia, who is now known as General Organa. For a feminine interpretation of Poe's fighter outfit, try on an orange dress, yellow-tinted sunglasses, star earrings, and gray wedges. Or wear a cozy look: orange sweater, white fuzzy vest, Darth Vader earrings, jeans, and gray boots.

Kylo Ren

Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) is the new Big Bad. He's obsessed with the now-deceased Darth Vader and fulfilling his legacy. He's a powerful warrior and a commander of the First Order. Go for a dark but feminine look in a lace black dres, gold necklace, red bracelet, and strappy black heels. Or embrace the dark side in a black hooded jacket, a Kylo Ren tee, black jeans, and lace-up boots.
